I just got this from a friend and I wanted to know if this is true. If it is true, any good feelings that I had been having for Atari (since they started talking on the net again) will quickly disappear. In fact, just the thought of it makes me livid. >Did you read the latest STZMAG?

No upgrade for other users yet. @%$&#^@%*!!! I am going to hold my tongue for now, but if we old-Atarians are getting shafted again, I'm going to go off like an atom. Come on guys, even the trash gets taken out once in a while. Every good system designer knows that starvation is not good for an `operating system.'

Last I heard, 1.4 on PROMs goes to developers, while the teeming hordes
have to wait for ROMs. Any delay is due to rom manufacture.
(Anyone want to burn enough proms for every st owner??? :-)
